Modern Warfare 2 was essentially destroyed by hackers, and it seems the latest in the series, Modern Warfare 3, is well on the same path. Hackers have used modded consoles to change certain lines in the game code such that they can de-rank anyone who joins their games, sucking away XP and rewards. Do not join any game unless you trust the host. MP1st has the story.

The hacking and griefing doesn’t surprise me. What I can’t understand is why anyone would go to such lengths for a game that’s so incredibly easy. I mean, if you need hacks to beat the Call of Duty crowd, there’s something seriously wrong with you. See a doctor. Same goes for enraging them, these people have all the self-control of a crack-baby chimp on a meth binge.
